Fancy Fold Christmas Card | Decorative Trees

The Decorative Trees Bundle (stamp + coordinating dies) includes traditional holiday images and die cutting possibilities. This is one of those Bundles that you’ll use year after year.

The magic of this fun fold card is in the connection between the front and the insert. When opened, the insert slides and pops up to reveal a pocket.

I used the Iconic Celebrations designer paper which has been one of my favorites this holiday season. The abundance of colors and images on this double-sided paper has made it easy and versatile to use.

I used Mossy Meadow and Pecan Pie to make this woodsy feeling card. The designer papers in this package, although different patterns, work perfectly together.

Fancy Fold Christmas Card | Snowy Wonder

Snowy Wonder is another popular Bundle that includes adorable die cut accessories for the images. Whether wanting to create a snow globe scene or a wintery dreamscape, this Bundle can do it all!

The coordinating Snowy Scenes designer series paper includes some images that can be die cut using the coordinating die. This penguin was fussy cut from the designer paper and it took seconds to add to this card.

The Greetings of the Season Bundle includes a large array of tag shapes and dies. Mix and match the greetings or add your own, this set of die cuts, in my opinion, is a must have.

Instead of slipping in a note, like the first card, consider using this pocket to add a gift card, a family photo, cash or check.

Winterly Tree Tops

The cool winterly feels of the Nests of Winter designer series paper works well with a large array of holiday stamp sets. These double-sided papers provide lots of options.

This Bundle also has coordinating designer paper for which some of the images can be die cut. This makes creating holiday cards quick and easy!

If you don’t want to include a pocket in your card, I have an easy alternative for you. Simply cut away the bottom portion of the card so that the greeting insert is revealed when the card is opened.

I used Stampin’ Blends alcohol-based markers for the greenery on this card. These markers allow you to color flawlessly with no effort. Learn about using them in a variety of ways using my YouTube playlist link HERE.
